Fucking hate OKC!!! They just got even better!

Marc J. Spears@SpearsNBAYahooKnicks send guard Ronnie Brewer to Thunder for 2nd round pick, source tells Y! Sports.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I think the real question is the cap hold.

I think it is 150% not 300% anymore. So puts it somewhere between 3.8 to 4.7 MIL depending on if they go off this years numbers or next years.

Really? Brewer is better than Maynor?

That isn't that bad. Let's hope he's healthy!

Brewer fills their need. They already have the back-up PG already.

Fills what need though? He is going to struggle to get minutes, Maynor got minutes when healthy.

I thought Brewer is a SG/SF combo, not PG/SG

He is. Still a logjam for minutes and he isn't better than the guys in front of him obviously.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Maynor was VERY quick before his injury. I like his size. I think he and Lillard can play together for 10 minutes a game.
Looks like we are investing in next year. Might as well take it slow with his injury

Developing: Damian Lillard passively indicated that Ronnie Price has been traded from the Blazers. Backtracked when asked further about it

The players wouldn't know, IMO. I think nothing is said until it's finalized.

WE Can dream can't we?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Maybe there are more deals being finalized and haven't been announced yet.

It's very likely. Even if the deadline is actually officially over; there maybe some still being processed that came in before.

The guard LeBron James in the NBA finals need.

Backup SG/SF. Think he'll see more time at SF though, with Kevin Martin and all.

Makes some sense given the state of his ankle. Could have been any number of guys though really.

 

[EGame]

Damian Lillard knows whats up. Trade the scrubs, which sadly, is all of our bench.

Or just release them that works too.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Price will be waived according to ChrisBHaynes and JWQuick

would have rather seen elliot go, whats the pro of keeping him till the end of the season?

Well who knows man? What if he comes back healthy and becomes that volume scorer off the bench? I think he would accept a min deal too.

He better. He isn't worth a penny more.

No pro. But he's also not sitting on the bench hoping for minutes. Also, won't insurance pick up 80% of his contract? Better to keep the injured player and scuttle someone who can actually "play".
I thought Price had a 3-year contract? Based on this I'm guessing not. If that was the case I thought we should cut Nolan - he at least deserves the chance to be picked up by another team.

 

[magnifier661]

Just don't see how he could justify anymore. I doubt any team would offer more either.

FTFY

It's 2 years with a team option his second year I thought?

Price - Non guaranteed deal for next year.
